So You Think You Know Plate Tectonics? Part 7 - Rocks and Climate

Learn all the basics of geology in our new conversational textbook - campGEO!Available here: geo.campcourses.comToday, we talk about Rocks and climate.  Specifically, we discuss the ways that ancient rocks would have interacted with our ancient atmosphere.  We begin by talking a little about the Carbon Cycle and how it's affected by plate tectonics.  We then discuss some ways that experimental researchers are making rocks in the lab and studying the ways that changing gas compositions affect the oxidation state of mafic minerals.  We hope you enjoy, and as usual please send us any questions you have!Download the CampGeo app now at this link.
